How can you stay healthy and limit the spread of the flu? 1) Get a flu shot. They can be found at your doctor's office or hospitals or at many pharmacies around the country. 2) Wash your hands well throughout the day, especially before touching your face or eating. 3) If you are sick then cover your coughs with your arm. As previously discussed on/. it would also be nice for your friends and coworkers for you to stay home if you are sick.
